A 3–10 GHz low power, low noise amplifier with 90nm, 1.2V standard CMOS technology

A low-power 2.4-GHz receiver front-end with a complementary series feedback LNA and a current-reused passive down-converter based on gm-boosted TIA for WSN applications

“…As the key module of a BLE RF receiver, the front-end accounts for the largest power consumption, so designing a lowpower RF receiver front-end has been the unremitting goal. Several techniques are proposed by previous works to reduce power consumption in narrow-band RF receivers such as mixer-first structure [16,17,18], the LMV structure [19,20,21,22,23], the series feedback structure [11,24,25] etc. The mixer-first structure removes the LNA and saves several milliwatts in power consumption.…”
